Subject: Breaking LoJack for Laptops

FYI-

I know this may be a little after-the-fact but I just came upon your article posted on 12-24-05 about how to disable LoJack for Laptops.  I currently use this product and have tested it in depth for a while.  The Notebook I use has Computrace built in to the BIOS.  I have tried to disable rpcnet, ctmweb, rpcnetp, and other files associated with Lojack as well as blocking these files with my firewall and even blocking Computrace's IP.  Needless to say my notebook still manages to call out.  If you are still interested in this program you may want to look at machines with Computrace enabled BIOS first.
